French rapper Julien Mari aka Jul lights the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays cauldron, designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, with the Olympic Torch during the Olympic Flame arrival ceremony at the Vieux-Port (Old Port) as part of its journey ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in Marseille, southeastern France, on May 8, 2024. The transfer of the flame onshore from a 19th-century tall ship will mark the start of a 12,000-kilometre (7,500-mile) torch relay across mainland France and the country's far-flung overseas territories.
